There were a few other new limited releases that did quite well. Saint Laurent earned an average of $9,034 in four theaters. A Bollywood film, Piku, was the largest limited release of the week earning nearly $1 million in 117 theaters for an average of $8,025. The Seven Five was close behind with an average of $7,393 in two theaters. 5 Flights Up was well back with an average of just $2,741 in 87 theaters. That's not good, but at least it didn't miss the Mendoza Line. Maggie wasn't as lucky earning an average of just $1,660 in just 79 theaters. On the other hand, I'm starting to think I might have to retire the Mendoza Line as a term, as it might be meaningless for films that open on Video on Demand. VoD has overtaken limited release in terms of importance for a film's profitability. Noble was playing in far too many theaters to thrive in limited release, 175, and only managed an average of $1,322. The D-Train opened semi-wide in 1,009 theaters, but it only managed an average of $444. At the bottom of the list was Skin Trade, which opened with $162 in one theater.

This past week also saw milestones reached for a few Per Theater Chart alumni:

Clouds of Sils Maria got to $1 million very early in the weekend. Unfortunately, it has also peaked at the box office, so $2 million could be out of reach.

Far from the Madding Crowd expanded to nearly 100 theaters and while it fell out of the $10,000 club, it held on well enough to reach $1 million and it should continue to expand.

The Water Diviner held on better than expected easily topping $3 million over the weekend. This makes $4 million and $5 million more likely.

Ex Machina continues to impress hitting $15 million over the weekend. This puts it ahead of a fellow limited release, It Follows, and just behind a wide release, Seventh Son.

Woman in Gold expanded its lead as the biggest limited release hit of 2015 getting all the way to $25 million. By the end of the weekend, the film had topped Run All Night, a film that had opened in more than 3,000 theaters.
